Adds insurance with homer Flores went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run, a double and an additional run scored in Saturday's 9-2 win over the Reds.
Impact Flores went yard in the sixth inning. This was his second homer and fourth multi-hit performance in his last eight games. The 30-year-old infielder is up to a .249/.320/.418 slash line with nine long balls, a team-leading 40 RBI, 37 runs scored and 13 doubles through 66 contests. He's seen regular playing time throughout the season, but he doesn't have a guaranteed spot in the lineup with the Giants' infield at essentially full health. Flores should still work his way into the lineup regularly as Brandon Belt and Evan Longoria are expected to draw regular rest days, though a strict platoon is unlikely to develop.

Takes seat against righty Flores is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against Atlanta, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.
Impact In the wake of Brandon Belt's recent return from the injured list, the Giants are back to full strength in the infield for one of the few times this season. As a result, Flores could find himself out of the lineup against right-handed pitchers like Atlanta's Spencer Strider more frequently, though manager Gabe Kapler's willingness to liberally dole out rest days to his veterans shouldn't make Flores a complete afterthought. At the very least, Flores should have a secure lineup spot versus lefties; he's produced a 117 wRC+ and .342 wOBA in those matchups for his career.

Hits eighth homer Flores went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in a 7-5 win over the Pirates on Saturday.
Impact The veteran first baseman hit his eighth home run of the season off Jose Quintana to give his team the lead in the top of the first.

Goes deep in loss Flores went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Rockies.
Impact Flores gave the Giants a 2-1 lead in the first inning with his homer, and he added a pair of singles for his second three-hit game in his last four contests. The infielder has also homered thrice in his last eight games as he continues to be a steady force in the heart of the lineup. The 30-year-old is up to a .266/.330/.446 slash line with seven long balls, 33 RBI, 30 runs scored and 12 doubles through 206 plate appearances.

Continues good run at Double-A Through four starts with Double-A Erie, Flores has a 3.12 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 22 strikeouts across 17.1 innings.
Impact Flores dazzled earlier this year with High-A West Michigan, delivering a 1.83 ERA, 0.83 WHIP and 35:2 K:BB across 19.2 innings, and he's continuing his strong play at the new level. The 21-year-old is putting himself on the map as one of the organization's top pitching prospects. If Flores keeps this up, he very well could be in the majors sometime next season.
